Young people of any age who missed any of the above vaccines due to socioeconomic disadvantage.

If your child attends school, they may be able to access these vaccinations as part of the school vaccination program. However, Active Medical can provide these vaccines to anyone including:

Students who would prefer not to have vaccinations at school

Young people who no longer attend school

Young people who have a medical condition, who would like to talk over their options with a GP prior to receiving the immunisation.

Active Medical GP, Dr Victor Sammut, said it is important for families to ensure all of their children are immunised – regardless of age.

“It’s easier to be diligent when they are babies, but it is just as important when they are teenagers to ensure they, and the rest of your family, are protected from what are life-threatening diseases.

“Whooping cough is a good example. You can carry the disease without being ill yourself, passing it on to vulnerable members of your family, such as babies and grandparents,” Dr Sammut said.
